Miller & Ketcham Funeral Home

Miller & Ketcham Funeral Home, located at 26 Franklin Street in Brandon, Vermont, stands as a pillar of compassionate service and enduring tradition in Addison and Rutland counties. Founded in 1827 by H.H. Hill, who operated as both a funeral director and cabinet maker, the firm is recognized as the oldest funeral home in the state of Vermont. With over 187 years of continuous operation under a lineage of dedicated directors—including Edgar N. Miller, Arthur S. Ketcham, Jason Duclaw, and Frank Miller—the home has built an unparalleled legacy of trust and community care. In 1939, Miller & Ketcham joined with Mallory Funeral Home, founded by Erwin A. Mallory, combining over 262 years of combined funeral service experience to better serve families in Vermont and neighboring Washington County, New York.

Today, the funeral home is led by Director Gary C. Stanley and operates two convenient locations: the historic Brandon location and a second facility at 4 S. Park Place in Fair Haven, Vermont. Both locations offer a full range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of the families they serve. These include traditional funeral services, cremation, and memorial services, as well as complete pre-arranged and pre-paid funeral planning options. The home provides confidential consultation and 24/7 assistance, ensuring that families receive support even when death occurs away from home. Miller & Ketcham is committed to accessibility, offering wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and provides financial assistance to eligible families.

The firm also offers specialized veteran services, including assistance with headstones and burial flags, and maintains a comprehensive online obituary section to honor loved ones. Additional resources include grief support guidance, funeral etiquette advice, and information on Social Security benefits. The website—millerandketchamfuneralhome.com—allows families to send flowers, sign up for obituary notifications, and access a wealth of planning tools. With a deep-rooted history and a steadfast commitment to respectful, personalized care, Miller & Ketcham Funeral Home continues to serve as a trusted partner to the community during life’s most difficult moments.
